Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of surface ion imprinted material preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a chitosan-based gadolinium ion imprinted material.
Background
Gadolinium, which is an ion having the largest number of unpaired electrons in rare earth elements, is more stable than other rare earth elements in dry air, unlike other rare earth elements. Gadolinium compounds have high paramagnetism and can be used as a projection agent for magnetic resonance imaging. The special property that gadolinium can adsorb a magnet after being cooled in ice water and can be separated from the magnet after being warmed up makes gadolinium widely applied to the magnetic refrigeration industry. Gadolinium is also widely used in the fields of optical fibers and nuclear energy.
Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide obtained by deacetylation of chitin, and the surface of the chitosan contains groups with strong reactivity of amino and hydroxyl. Therefore, it has the performances of biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibiosis, anticancer, lipid reduction, adsorption and the like. The active group on the surface of the chitosan enables the chitosan to be subjected to diversified chemical modification, so that the chitosan has wide application prospects in various fields such as food, paper making, textile, medical treatment, water treatment and the like.
However, the chitosan is in a powdery form, and the powder is not beneficial to recycling in the application process of the adsorption field. And the unmodified chitosan is easy to agglomerate, has no good specific surface area, and the adsorption sites on the surface do not exert the effect thereof, thereby seriously influencing the adsorption capacity. The existing gadolinium ion imprinting material has good selectivity, but low adsorption capacity and low efficiency in practical application.
